Mussels, Clams and Shrimp in Spicy Broth Recipe #110921
I found this recipe by Giada De Laurentiis on foodtv.com. I have never made mussels or clams and I was delighted with the results. Do not omit the basil, I think it adds a lot to this recipe and make sure you have the warm, crusty bread to dip in the broth!
